Kawazu mine (Rendaiji mine; Rendaizi mine), Rendaiji, Shimoda City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Chubu Region, Honshu Island, Japan

StandardDetailedBy ChemistryMineral Photos (9)MapsSearch Google

A gold mine on the Izu peninsula. Epithermal Au-Ag-Te-Mn veins with gangue of chalcedonic quartz. One of the most species-rich localities in Japan. Dumps overgrown by forest. Collecting was possible in the 1990s, but difficult because of the vegetation, and is now totally prohibited.
